5 amazing phone illusions that will blow your mind

When the iPhone first came out, we saw a bunch of phone magic that, while it was captivating at the time, has become pretty cheesy over the years. We’re talking about such gimmicks as being able to drink a beer out of the screen and the app that made the camera look like an x-ray machine.

We’re happy to see that over the years, real magicians have started to use smartphones to create and enhance a variety of mind-blowing illusions. Inspired by the iPad presentation we saw by Charlie Caper and Erik Rosales, we set out to find other portable powered illusions. Today, we’ve put together 5 acts that use today’s mobile devices to make you say, “Wow!”

First up we have Jay Jay. He performs some great up close card tricks. To add a mobile twist to his act, he had it filmed simultaneously with an iPhone 4, an iPhone 4S, and an iPad 2, each from a different side. All 3 videos are available on YouTube so you can try to figure out how the trick was done from 3 separate angles.

Check out the front view to the left and if you’re still not convinced, head over to YouTube to check it out from the left and the right side.

Next up, we have The Art of Sean Scott. Sean uses an iPhone with an object displayed on the screen. He then magically makes the item emerge from the screen into the real world. He also uses the camera to show an object and somehow passes the object through the phone and physically on top of the screen.

Marco Tempest doesn’t just stop at iPod Touches. He also has a series on YouTube called PhoneCam Street Magic. He has 20 different illusions he has come up with using a phone’s camera. Check out one of the tricks to the left and if you’re really amazed check out the entire playlist by clicking on the slide title.

Oh, by the way, Marco also made additional videos for some of the illusions that show you how he did it if any of these really mystify you.

Now, we’ve saved the best for last. Dynamo does a host of different phone magic during this 5-minute video. He does all his magic on the street and his illusions really are mind-blowing, particularly when he makes his phone disappear and it ends up inside a nearby bottle.
